Hernandez started 25 games at short, but 31 games at second base. Shortstop proved to be a smidge difficult, as he made nine errors in 84 chances for an .893 fielding percentage, while at second, he made seven errors in 144 chances for a much higher .951 FP.

Hernandez led the team in PAs, Runs, Hits, Doubles, and RBI, and was pretty easily the team MVP this season. His lefty/righty splits are encouraging, as are his numbers with runners on base. Hernandez really only saw an offensive dropoff in the month of August, towards the end of his first professional season.
